Article mounting apparatus is provided for mounting an article such as a plant container to a support such as a lamp post. The apparatus includes a first bracket for mounting to a support, and a second bracket associated with the article. The first and second brackets are arranged to be mountable together to an engaged position by mutual relative movement in a first direction, and movable from the engaged position to a locked position by mutual relative movement in a second direction, the second direction being different to the first direction. The first and second brackets are arranged so that in the locked position, mutually relative movement of the brackets in a direction substantially opposite to the first direction is substantially prevented.

The invention claimed is: 1. Article mounting apparatus for mounting an article to a support, the apparatus including a first bracket for mounting to a support, the first bracket including a body, the body comprising a mounting member and a support member, the support member extending from the mounting member, the apparatus including a second bracket associated with an article, the first bracket and the second bracket being arranged to be mountable together to an engaged position by relative movement of the second bracket in a first substantially vertical downward direction, and movable from the engaged position to a locked position by relative movement of the second bracket in a second direction, the second direction being different to the first direction and being a rotational direction about a pivot point, the pivot point being located on the support member, the first and second brackets being arranged so that, in the locked position, relative movement of the second bracket in a direction substantially opposite to the first direction is substantially prevented. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the first bracket includes a first engaging part, the second bracket includes a second engaging part, and in the engaged position, the first and second engaging parts are engaged together, one of the first or second engaging parts defining a channel, the other of the first or second engaging parts including an engaging projection which is receivable in the channel, in use the engaging projection extending substantially along the first direction. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the first bracket includes a first locking part, and the second bracket includes a second locking part, in the locked position, the first and second locking parts being engaged together, one of the first or second locking parts including a locking projection, the locking projection extending substantially along the second direction, the other of the first or second locking parts defining a passage, and in the locked position the locking projection locating in the passage. 4. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the first bracket includes a first locking part, and the second bracket includes a second locking part, the first and second brackets being arranged so that in the locked position, the first and second locking parts are substantially concealed from view. 5. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the first bracket is formed of metal. 6. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the second bracket is mountable to the article. 7. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the second bracket is formed integrally with the article. 8. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the apparatus includes biasing means, which bias the first and second brackets to move from the engaged position to the locked position the biasing means including the pivot point on which the second bracket pivots in use, the apparatus being arranged so that the weight of the article acts about the pivot point to bias the first and second brackets into the locked position. 9. Apparatus according to claim 1, in which the apparatus includes securing means to substantially prevent relative movement of the second bracket in a direction opposite to the second direction from the locked position. 10. In combination, article mounting apparatus according to claim 1, for mounting an article to a support and an article for mounting to the support by the apparatus, wherein the article is a plant container. 11. In combination, article mounting apparatus according to claim 1, for mounting an article to a support and an article for mounting to the support by the apparatus, wherein the article is formed of plastics material by molding. 12. A first bracket for mounting an article to a support, the first bracket being arranged for mounting to the support, to support a second bracket associated with the article, the first bracket including a body, the body comprising a mounting member and a support member, the support member extending from the mounting member, the first bracket and the second bracket being arranged to be mountable together to an engaged position by relative movement of the second bracket in a first substantially vertical downward direction, and movable from the engaged position to a locked position by relative movement of the second bracket in a second direction, the second direction being different to the first direction and being a rotational direction about a pivot point, the pivot point being located on the support member, the first and second brackets being arranged so that, in the locked position, relative movement of the second bracket in a direction substantially opposite to the first direction is substantially prevented. 13. A second bracket for mounting an article to a support, the second bracket being associated with the article and being arranged to be mountable to a first bracket which is arranged for mounting to a support, the first bracket including a body, the body comprising a mounting member and a support member, the support member extending from the mounting member, the first bracket and the second bracket being arranged to be mountable together to an engaged position by relative movement of the second bracket in a first substantially vertical downward direction, and moveable from the engaged position to a locked position by relative movement of the second bracket in a second direction, the second direction being different to the first direction and being a rotational direction about a pivot point, the pivot point being located on the support member, the first and second brackets being arranged so that, in the locked position, relative movement of the second bracket in a direction substantially opposite to the first direction is substantially prevented.
